Man Puffing Smoke

The man was smoking while walking

Shot in the city of Berhampore, India.

The man I met in the street was puffing a cigarette when he stopped just in front of me. Though smoking was prohibited in the public in all India, people often didn't care about the rule. So did he. Smoking was still an essential for men in this country, I thought.

Apparently, he was interested in a foreign stranger. Yet he just kept looking wonderingly and didn't say a word. What he passed his lips was only smoke.
